;)

[Proximo]

And, for me, this month is the month of the marriage. Wish me luck. :)

[General Phoenix]

Good luck, man. Just remember to say the right name and you'll be fine.

July will be the month I list the entire family except me ;)

[skyhawk223]

Toad Hollow Day of Thank You?????
I like 6/2. Think my boss will buy it?

[dfalconet]

Sure your boss will buy it. Just tell him it is imperative you leave the office early to have Rocky Road ice cream with Bubba. National security depends on it.

How could he take the chance that you might be wrong?

[Proximo]

Graham, you're takin' the vows? Sweet! :D

Good luck, man. Just remember to say the right name and you'll be fine.

Oh great, now I'll be spouting a long list of my favourite TV characters...

"I do take thee Aerin. I mean Marge! I mean Chiana! I mean Kirk! Damnit..."

Yesterday (the 30th) was the June Bank Holiday. It doesn't sound bizzarre until you realise that it largely consists of fat people wandering the streets with no shirt until they turn a nice shade of pink. And caravans. Lots and lots of caravans...

I can't think of any bizarre june days. Except maybe that one with the alcohol. Oh wait, that's every weekend...

[dfalconet]

June 1

Well, what do you know. I found a filthy fly bussing around in my kitchen this morning. I dared him to land within striking distance. He was not very cooperative, and I had to chase him around the house with a fly swatter in my hand for almost 2 hours. But finally, he did land and the Great White Hunter triumphed again. One dead filthy fly. What an exciting day this was. And how was yours?

[General Phoenix]

Well, I dared myself to join up at a tanning salon near my house, in honor of Dare Day.

Worked out pretty well, too. I spend about 10 minutes every few days lying nearly-naked in a tanning bed, and I actually feel refreshed afterward. Not to mention the lovely young woman who works the front desk seemed to enjoy talking to me before I left.

All for just $35 a month... :D

[Darrell Lawrence]

Today, June First, I told a Mexican visiting my neighbor to go join the Navy :D

[General Phoenix]

Not sure if that's quite what the lady had in mind, but I guess it's the thought that counts. :D

Just realized I can't celebrate "Leave the Office Early Day" - I close my store tomorrow, and I can't leave until everyone else does.

Maybe I'll just close the whole place at 7 pm instead of 10. I doubt anyone will notice...

[LoneWolf]

Today (June 2nd) I am doing a Bubba moment by using this handle to test some stuff.

"Heyyyy Bubbaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!"

[dfalconet]

I wondered why you were doing it.

[skyhawk223]

Hug your cat day...I can do that with a fine selection of three to choose from.

[dfalconet]

Wow! I got out of bed this morning all prepared to celebrate Chimborazo Day. What the heck is Chimborazo Day? :confused: Does anyone out there know what it is?

I REPEAT: Does anyone out there know what it is?

I REPEAT: Does anyone out there know what it is?

[Darrell Lawrence]

I'm gonna have to go with Repeat Day... The cats won't let me hug them.

So what's repeating? I got a child graduating High School again :D (Daughter 4 yrs ago, son today)

[General Phoenix]

From my research (read "Google") it seems that Chimborazo is a city/province/mountain/forest preserve in Equador.

Cool, huh?



Yeah, I didn't think so either... :)

[dfalconet]

I spent the whole day under the popular delusion that Sunday is a day of rest. Guess what.....
It isn't.

[General Phoenix]

Wasn't for me - I had to work a normal shift at my store, then go to a woman's house and clean viruses off her computer for about 4 hours...

[Darrell Lawrence]

Today being teh 6th, I gues I get to be a yo-yo.

Yo! Yo! :D

[skyhawk223]

I might be doing some garden exercising thisd evening.

[nezhdan]

* Potty Training Awareness Month --- That's just wrong, on a bunch of levels, especially when you consider I was thinking "Ooh, Turkey Appreciate Month! I like turkey!" :x

[dfalconet]

June 8

Upsy daisy C
Upsy daisy M
Upsy daisy S
Upsy daisy D (in case sons count)

Just lifting my best friends at 3DG up onto little pedestals for the day.
No names so I wont embarrass anyone, but I think you know who you are.

[skyhawk223]

Quack!
Just came back from Orlando visiting the Mouse and Co.

[Darrell Lawrence]

Interesting.

Nursing assistant day on the same day Dr's are identified as quacks!

[shugotenshi]

06-17 Root Beer Day...
Eat Your Vegetables Day...

Eat Your Vegetables Day!!! NNNNNNNNOOOOOO!!!!

Sorry... was flashing back there for a second...

[shugotenshi]

BTW... Happy Crowded Nest Awareness Day... for those that have a Crowded Nest, that needs a Crowded Nest Awareness Day... of couse if you celebrate Crowded Nest Awareness Day, then... oh never mind.

[Darrell Lawrence]

* Rebuild Your Life Month

*sigh*

[shugotenshi]

Happy National Juggling Day everyone!

[dfalconet]

Kitchen Klutzes Day! Oh, goody, goody. My own special day at last!

Now is they would only make klutze days for the rest of the rooms in the house and for the yards and gardens, my life would be complete.

Oh, BTW, I missed National Hug Day. Please accept hugs all around for everybody even it they are a couple of days late. They are only a little stale, not spoiled.

[shugotenshi]

In observance of Pop Goes the Weasel Day, here are the lyrics so everyone can sing along!


'Round and 'round the cobbler's bench
The monkey chased the weasel,
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun
Pop! Goes the weasel.

A penny for a spool of thread
A penny for a needle,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.

A half a pound of tupenny rice,
A half a pound of treacle.
Mix it up and make it nice,
Pop! Goes the weasel.

Up and down the London road,
In and out of the Eagle,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.

I've no time to plead and pine,
I've no time to wheedle,
Kiss me quick and then I'm gone
Pop! Goes the weasel.

[dfalconet]

Thanks for the lyrics. I had never seen them all before and didn't know there were so many. Hmmmm, is that the voices of many 3DGers I hear all singing "Pop Goes the Weasel"? This ditty is sure to run through our minds all day now.

[skyhawk223]

Great job. Now I can't get the song out of my head. THanks a lot! :)

[shugotenshi]

You're welcome. Now for Smile Power Day.

:) :) :) :) :)

[dfalconet]

My son and I decided to take part in the National Hollerin’ Contest today. We went down to the highway, he on the east side and me on the west side and commenced hollerin’ at the passing motorists. There were prizes to be won in the following categories:
1. Who got the most weird looks from the passing motorists
2. Who got the most disgusted looks from the passing motorists
3. Who caused the most wrecks by the almost passing motorists
4. Who ran away the fastest when the cops showed up.

We both did pretty good but couldn’t decide on a winner ‘cause the score keepers kept getting run over by the passing motorists. And how was your day?

[Darrell Lawrence]

...next time I'll wear shoes too. That pavement in the summer time gets HOT!

[skyhawk223]

I don't even want to know...

[General Phoenix]

Everybody just keep smiling and step slowly out of the thread...

Okay? Now RUN!!!!!!!!!!

:D

[shugotenshi]

Sure am glad my local Long john silvers has an A&W cold tap. Otherwise, celebrating Root Beer Day wouldn't be as fun. Cheers!

I think I'll do a search online for Root beer drinking songs....

[shugotenshi]

I'm going to celebrate go fishing day tomorrow along with World Sauntering Day, because both of those days go hand in hand. Unlike International Panic Day... How do you fish and panic at the same time???

To celebrate Garfield the cat day. Here's a website with all the comics dating back to the beginning.

http://www.garfield.com/comicscartoons.html

[shugotenshi]

oh, BTW.... WE'RE DOOMED!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!! <runs about room in random directions screaming>

[skyhawk223]

shugotensi, you sound like C3PO :)
Perhaps I will celevrate ice cream soda day with a nice tall mug of my favorite lemon-lime flavored soda with two scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream.
What will you guys and gals be having?

[shugotenshi]

Root beer soda with vanilla ice cream has always been my favorate.

[shugotenshi]

I have no clue... what so ever... wtf Toad Hollow Day of Thank You is.

Did a search online and got every website devoted to The Legend of Sleepy Hollow...

[dfalconet]

Well, this is what I heard: All the little creatures in Toad Hollow have spent the day saying thank you for the ice cream soda recipies that Skyhawk and Shugotenshi posted above.

[Darrell Lawrence]

Celibacy Awareness Month - ....'nuff said.

For tomorrow the 21st - Cuckoo Warning Day - ...nuff said again.

The two are related.

[BorgBoy7]

How about "Dictionary Day" on October 16th

BorgBoy7
Resistance Isn't Always Futile

[skyhawk223]

In honor of today, I will refuse to ask for any directions. I know exactly where I am.

[shugotenshi]

National Éclair Day... sounds french.... Let's shoot it. :phaser:

[dfalconet]

In honor of today, I will refuse to ask for any directions. I know exactly where I am.

Ah yes. Illusion is great isn't it?

Oh, Bye the way, Sky Hawk, yesterday was the first day of summer. Did you notice that I crossed the border into Mylandia in the evening? (if this confuses you, check the Nov. Holiday thread)

[General Phoenix]

Shugo, no violence required. Just threaten the eclair, and it will surrender. :)

[skyhawk223]

Oh GP, you didn't...yup, you certainly did! Doh! That was great.

dfalconet - yes, I did notice. How is your land doing? Is everything still in order?

[shugotenshi]

National Pink Day... :puke:

Real men don't where pink! :bang:

[dfalconet]

dfalconet - How is your land doing? Is everything still in order?

Well, Mythos started out as a simple land and has remained that way. It is quiet and peaceful. Just the place for overworked and harrassed big city dwellers to get away from it all and lower their blood pressure.

But I have given up the peace and quiet for the summer season in exchange for the exhilaration of soaring through the peaks and canyons of Mylandia

[skyhawk223]

Which sense to celebrate today? Do we have to do all, or can we pick one?

Peaks and canyons? Sounds like GP's terragen images in the WIP section.

[shugotenshi]

:ninja: secretly sneaking off to local museum with equipment from frankenstein's lab...

Damn, bright and sunny out. :rage: Cannot celebrate Museum comes to life day without lightning. :bawling: Why god why!

[Darrell Lawrence]

06-13 National Juggling Day / Kitchen Klutzes Day

I burned two frozen burritos in the microwave and ended up juggling them when I took them out, so I guess I did both!

[evil_genius_180]

Thanks for bumping this. I missed this one before and I do so enjoy these. Unfortunately, I don't have anything planned for Pop Goes The Weasel Day. :nonono:
